This piece is not so much about Ron Paul than about the importance of civil, reasoned debate, which in some instances appears sorely lacking, especially on Ron Paul threads...

They display all the symptoms of LDS. And I don’t mean Latter Day Saints.

Why are people frighted of scorpians? Or bums? Or snakes? Or jihadists? Drunk drivers?

This is sort of a semi follow up of another pretty good article by the American Chronicle, posted here at FR:

Bringing Politics Back to the People - The Do-It-Yourself Campaign of Ron Paul

You get what you put out. The Paulbots don’t offer any rational civil debate. They merely chant their slogans and talking points. IF they ever tried actually DEBATING instead of filibustering, they might see a big difference in how they are treated.

No other candidate, either Republican or Democrat, espouses the principles Ron Paul supports. All the other candidates support big government programs and proclaim big government is the answer to everything that ails our society. Those of us who realize this is not true and who simply want to be left to decide for ourselves what paths we will take in our lives have found a champion in Ron Paul. His candidacy has given many of us someone to vote for rather than someone to vote against. His candidacy has given many of us something to vote for other than the lesser of two evils.

Refreshing to be able to enter a voting booth and vote for someone because you believe in their principles instead of voting simply because you don't want the 'other guy' to get in office

Why do Ron Paul supporters think that disagreeing with their candidate means that people are “frightened” of him?

RIGHT here. I will highlight the over the top hysteric rhetoric that flow out of the Paulbots for you. THIS sort of uncivil, hysteric ignorant demagoguery shows the Paulbots want a level of civility extended TO them that they refuse to extend TOWARDS anyone who disagrees with their fevered devotion to Paul

From the article I could go on, but I think I’ve covered the basics. Try to remember, we are in the process of selecting a president here, not a dictator or a decider

. Ron Paul is the only candidate who is for a smaller government with the voting record to prove it. All the other candidates are for increasing the size of government and government’s power and control over you. Ron Paul is against the war in Iraq, and any war of aggression. He is in favor of bringing our troops home to protect our borders.

EVERY single statement about is factually untrue. A base slander of all the other Presidential candidate. So if the Paulbots are upset at the fire given BACK at them, perhaps they should stop dishing it out.

More trash talking from this article And, should the citizens of the United States elect him as our next president, we would be sending a clear message to our politicians that we understand what freedom is and what it means and that we want to keep our freedoms and liberties rather than letting them die under the oppressive boots of a police state.

Ron Paul should frighten no one, except maybe the establishment which has been feeding at the pig trough of political power for far too long.

So if you don't like what you are getting sent AT you Paulbots, quit dishing it out.

“This piece is not so much about Ron Paul than about the importance of civil, reasoned debate, which in some instances appears sorely lacking, especially on Ron Paul threads...”

So she starts out labeling it fear, I guess that “code pink” annoys everyone, including the Paul supporters at StormFront, but it doesn’t mean that they are afraid of them.

It just means that they are annoying and pushing themselves into everyones face, like the Paul people spamming FR.

If the Lyndon LaRouche people start imposing themselves all over the internet, they would start getting backlash too.

“Why do Ron Paul supporters think that disagreeing with their candidate means that people are “frightened” of him?”

Because they seek to minimize your arguments and portray you as emotionally weak.

Why is Ron Paul afraid to admit that the ONLY reason that he claims to be a “Republican” is that it’s the only way that he could be elected in the 17th congressional district?

His candidacy has given many of us someone to vote for rather than someone to vote against.

Speaking of voting against. Paul voted against tightening sanctions against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his government and a call to designate his army a terrorist group.

. Congress Denounces Iran's Ahmadinejad [Ron Paul moves to the left of Kucinich; votes nay].

All I read was the headline...that was enough for me.

Reasoned, civil debate? That's not what I saw of RP's emotional response in the last debate I saw, his strident cry to bring the troops home.

Between Dubya, Rick Perry, and Ron Paul, maybe it's time for Texas to step back and regroup, and try to elect conservatives.

I’m just surprised at how many stupid Ron Paul supporters not frighten.
